Bore wipers

[Nuclearcricket]

Sam, I think most wiping technique that carries enough water to soften the fouling with one push through with a dry is good.
I like the Dewey Jags like the Parker Hale that is long enough that a 3" patch makes full contact on the jag and bore. That carries enough moisture to soften the fouling and the dry patch is enough to take out enough fouling and most of the moisture.
Here at home when when I'm not pushed like a match I use a bore brush with a large patch. The dry patch shows that the first patch did a good job.

In working as the Range Officer for a big number of Silhouette matches I get to see a lot of things. One thing I do know pretty much for sure, there is not hard fast absolute best way to manage things between shots. I see shooters using blow tubes. Wet and then Dry patches, bore pigs, the Remington squeegee jags. Different solutions for solvent. It all boils down to what really works for you.
The bore pigs I have seem to work ok in what little I have used them. I don't think they are the last word on anything, I do know they seemed to work as they were designed to. I don't think you can ask for much more than that.
All I do know for sure, the 44-77 they were being used in shot well. PP bullets made the barrel quite hot. Other than that, things just seemed to work quite well that day.
